UK Book Club – Remainders / Bargains If you are addicted to books, you've probably subscribed to various book clubs at some point in your life. They hook you in with a great deal and then you have to spend the next several years choosing at least one book a month or one book a quarter from a list that soon starts to get less and less appetising. Eventually, you summon up the energy to write and cancel your account, but they then pursue you until you die with junk mail letters trying to suck you back in - argh! PSBooks (aka Post Script Books) has no contract. They simply sell overstocked books and remainders. Most of their prices are pretty good – and you pay just one shipping charge of £2.95 per order (in the UK). They also ship worldwide but charge a per volume rate. Sometimes you can equal their prices for new books on Amazon, but that usually means multiple shipping charges from different booksellers, so PSBooks is often the cheapest solution if you are buying more than one title. That's dependent of course, of you wanting to buy the titles on their list. They obviously cannot compete with the fabulous prices you can get on Amazon for second hand books in good condition. Their list is wide and eclectic – history, art, music, natural history, science, travel, reference, crafts, hobbies, religion – usually something of interest at a price that is tempting. www.psbooks.co.uk Worth a look.
